Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of linear valve pneumatic actuators, and more specifically, to a linear valve pneumatic actuator. Background Art
[0002] A pneumatic actuator is a device that uses air pressure to drive the opening and closing or adjustment of a valve. It is also known as a pneumatic actuator or pneumatic device, but is generally popularly called a pneumatic head. Sometimes, a pneumatic actuator is also equipped with certain auxiliary devices, commonly including a valve positioner and a handwheel mechanism. The function of the valve positioner is to improve the performance of the actuator using the feedback principle, so that the actuator can accurately position according to the control signal of the controller. The function of the handwheel mechanism is that when the control system has a power outage, a gas outage, the controller has no output, or the actuator fails, it can be used to directly operate the control valve to maintain the normal operation of production.
[0003] Pneumatic actuators can be divided into double-acting pneumatic actuators and single-acting pneumatic actuators. For a single-acting pneumatic actuator, the valve is opened when air is supplied, and automatically closes when there is no air supply, and it automatically resets by a spring. In the case of a single-acting pneumatic actuator when there is no air supply, since the gas cannot quickly discharge from the exhaust hole, the gas inside the pneumatic actuator continues to compress the spring, and the spring cannot return to its original state, resulting in the valve not being able to close quickly.
[0004] In the prior art, the authorized publication number CN221075446U of the utility model discloses a pneumatic actuator, which includes a pneumatic actuator housing. An air-operated structure is assembled at the lower end of the inner cavity of the pneumatic actuator housing. A screw-type manual structure is assembled between the middle of the upper surface of the air-operated structure and the upper end of the pneumatic actuator housing. A sealing enhancement structure is assembled between the bottom surface of the top of the air-operated structure and the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the pneumatic actuator housing. A ring-shaped flexible airbag is adhesively fixed to the lower end of the outer wall of the pneumatic actuator housing, and the ring-shaped flexible airbag is communicated with the gas output end of the pneumatic actuator housing; the outer side of the gas output end of the pneumatic actuator housing is fixedly communicated with the ring-shaped flexible airbag. By pressing the ring-shaped flexible airbag, the gas inside the pneumatic actuator can be quickly discharged from the one-way exhaust valve, so that the gas inside the pneumatic actuator will not continue to compress the spring, enabling the spring to quickly return to its original state and realizing the quick closing of the valve.
[0005] In the above patent, when in use, a threaded rod member mechanism is provided, which needs to be twisted up and down for adjustment inside the cylinder structure. When there is no power, it can be manually pressed down to operate the piston. Since the actuator is a pneumatic structure and realizes the control of the piston up and down by inflating, the connection of the threaded rod is a threaded hole and cannot achieve sealing, and air leakage will occur during use, affecting the pneumatic execution control.

[0012] Furthermore, a circular groove is opened on the inner surface of the lower end of the cylinder barrel, and the lower outer surface of the spring is clamped on the inner surface of the circular groove.
[0013] Further, a sealing ring is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the piston block. The outer surface of the sealing ring is extruded against the inner surface of the cylinder barrel. The sealing ring is made of nitrile rubber material. Annular positioning grooves are formed at the upper and lower ends of the outer surface of the piston block, and the outer surface of the sealing ring is snapped into the annular positioning grooves.
[0014] Further, convex seats are arranged on the upper end surface of the cylinder barrel. The convex seats are distributed on both sides of the cylinder barrel, and mounting holes are arranged on the surfaces of the convex seats.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present utility model are as follows:
[0016] (1) A support tube structure is arranged at the upper end of the cylinder barrel, and an extrusion screw is arranged inside for adjustment. When it is necessary to manually control the piston rod to descend, the threaded cover can be opened and the extrusion screw can be twisted downward. In this way, when the pneumatic device is in normal use, the compression control part of the cylinder barrel is a sealed structure, and there will be no air leakage phenomenon, which does not affect the pneumatic execution control.
